I need advice, i have no problem beeing friendly, i can talk, make them laugh, but thats not what im looking for. I constantly find myself in the friend zone, i dont know when to show my intentions, or how. Her is my latest experience of this:
So there i was, talking with 4 of my friends (all of them have girlfriends), when suddenly i saw a girl, she was cute enough. above the avarage i would say, and then one of my friendds (the closest one) saw me smilling to her and said "ok, i know you are nervous but just go talk to her, be friendly" so even with aa i went for it. We were talking for like 15 minutes and then i left with my friends, i was being friendly as my friend said.
2 weeks later i asked her out, and she answered with the clasic "i just see you as a friend". But now i think it is my fault, i was always friendly with her, she knew i liked her because my friends made it way too obvious, and still i didnt made a clear move till i asked her out.
So my questions would be: When do you state your intentions? I feel like showing my intentions too early will make me seem desperate or silently putting her on a pedestal, so how do i show my intentions?
